Arch Linux User Repository

The PKGBUILD supports customization via environment variables. Here's a list of all of them:
_makemenuconfig: Invokes make menuconfig (default configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makenconfig: Invokes make nconfig (nicer configuration menu) before compilation starts
_makexconfig: Invokes make xconfig (GUI configuration menu) before compilation starts
_use_current: Will use the configuration of the running kernel, if the running kernel is compiled with IKCONFIG_PROC
_copyfinalconfig: Copies the final kernel configuration into the repository root as kconfig-new before compilation starts
_localmodcfg: Only compiles modules found in modprobed-db's database (which decreases compilation time and kernel size)
_use_llvm_lto: Compiles the kernel with LLVM instead of GCC. Should work, if not write a comment
_subarch: Specifies the sub architecture to compile for (see the PKGBUILD file for a list of all subarches). Default is 40 (Generic-x86-64), which is \compatible with all amd64 processors. Must be a number
_debug: Force enables debug options when set to y, force disables debug options when set to n or uses the config defaults when unset

All of these variables just need to be set for them to apply, except for _subarch and _debug.

If you want a dead simple way to compile this package, you can try out my build tool. It includes a few no nonsense changes to the kernel configuration and allows you to configure the PKGBUILD in a simple manner and decrease build time. And if you don't want that, using makepkg as-is works fine too.

Kernel has been updated and is now maintained again.

Thank you metak for creating this package in the first place.

@Gonzo2028 You can check in the kernel config file in /proc/config.gz at # Processor type and features section.

zcat /proc/config.gz > /tmp/config-$(uname -r)

Thanks! I will give it a try. Is there a method to read the used subarch on compilation for the current running kernel?

@Gonzo2028 You just have to make a small change to pkgbuild file, set _subarch=13 for zen3 and point the source for gcc optimizations patch to latest commit to get the required patch.

or just tell me how to implement znver3 then ;). Thanks.

i have gcc 11 installed, i just need the option. or will native detect znver3 if available?

@Gonzo2028 Hi, znver3 requires gcc from trunk so I can't add that.
Add -march=znver3/requires gcc trunk at this time

please add support for -march=znver3

I also do not have any xf86-video installed, only nvidia-dkms drivers. I assume your main problem is the missing drm module. Which graphics driver do you want to use?

Is anyone able to help?

When library xf86-video-intel isn't installed, Kernel Clear with Gnome won't starts GDM.

In the kernel LTS the system works normally without xf86-video-intel

PS: xf86-video-intel causes screen sharing and recording errors so I shouldn't be using it.

@adsoncicilioti Does this help? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/bumblebee#Fatal_IO_error_11_(Resource_temporarily_unavailable)_on_X_server

@Ryaniskira Not really. If something depends on 'linux' that means it depends on default arch kernel package linux'. If you're building module then you should use dkms. What's the package you're installing?
